My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Arkwild B Fenn, R 44G, L 75993

Hi, I’m Fenn! I love scritches, sniffing new things, looking out the window at squirrels, and knowing where my people are. I am a little bit of a busy boy—if I think I am being ignored, I might steal something soft to get your attention! But I usually drop it as soon as I’m told to. I am often shy in new situations, and sometimes startle unexpectedly, but usually settle quickly. All that to say I am friendly and cuddly if you respect my boundaries! I also have SO MUCH ENERGY and would love love love a yard to play in—right now I don’t have a yard and have been told that I “need to pull and jump less” on walks, but I’m just a baby who won't be 2 until April! What do you expect from me? I’m still growing up! Do you think I would be a great addition to your home?

More about this rescue

We are the Minnesota chapter of Greyhound Pets of America.

Greyhound Pets of America is a tax-exempt, non-profit corporation founded in 1987 for the purpose of finding homes for ex-racing greyhounds and educating the public on the suitability and availability of greyhounds as pets.

All of our greyhounds go into foster homes where they can acclimate to their new lives as retired racers. We also get a better idea of their personalities so we can make the best possible match with their new family.

We have found great success in matching the personalities of the greyhounds with the personalities of the new families. We test all our greyhounds to see if they can live with small animals and many of our greyhounds go on to live in families with other pets, including cats.

Greyhound Pets of America - Minnesota is run entirely by volunteers who dedicate their time and talents to the cause of rescuing retired greyhounds. GPA-MN and our volunteers are committed to making sure all our greyhounds have a happy, safe and long life while in our care as well as after they find their forever homes.

If you're planning to get a dog, we hope you will consider adopting one of our retired racers!
